Be very careful to what these people tell you. They do not do what they say. If you are wanting a female only, totally separated facility, do not use them. They do not operate by integrity. Choose to take advantage of the situation when families are the most vulnerable, caring for their loved ones.

Other Forms of Payment

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

monthly iconMonthly

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
The first stage in successful treatment from alcohol and drug addiction is to safely manage the acute physical withdrawal symptoms most patients experience when abruptly stopping long-term substance use. Each client undergoes a medical assessment upon admission to determine overall health, in addition to pinpointing whether the patient is in need of medically managed detoxification. The assessment includes blood and urine screenings, medical and psychological assessments, as well as specifics regarding the client’s medical history. During the medically supervised detoxification phase of recovery, the stabilization of other identified co-occurring health conditions is also addressed.
inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
12-step icon12-Step
Their 12-Step philosophy is rooted in their commitment to meeting clients exactly where they are in their precise stage of recovery. By working through the time-tested series of 12-Steps, participants eventually identify with the concept of surrendering to a higher spiritual power to assist with maintaining sobriety. Through a spiritual awakening and by admitting powerlessness over one‘s addiction, clients accept the premise that a power greater than oneself can restore one‘s sanity.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Post-treatment services offer transitional support and are customized for each client’s needs. Relapse prevention is critical to ongoing recovery success and close communication with all pertinent health professionals ensures a consistent continuum of care upon discharge. Supportive sober living is encouraged whenever appropriate. Referrals to Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) for continued ongoing therapy, individual therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) work are arranged if available in the client’s local area. Alumni Program personnel keep in touch with clients at multiple points at the second, third, sixth and 12-month intervals. Clients in the nearby Austin, Dallas, and Fort Worth areas enjoy a variety of on-campus monthly programming events. Additionally, alumni alliances events and yearly alumni reunions are available.
outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

During rehab in Texas, you'll deal with underlying issues that contribute to addiction. By addressing these challenges and learning healthy ways to cope with them, you'll develop strategies that help you live a drug-free lifestyle.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

This form of psychotherapy helps clients examine how thoughts and beliefs affect behavior. By addressing negative patterns of thoughts and behavior through the help of a trained therapist, positive beliefs can be constructed. Individuals have experienced improved levels of brain functioning and relief from conditions such as depression, anxiety and eating disorders through CBT techniques.

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

This approach helps their clients increase their emotional and cognitive regulation by learning and accepting the triggers that lead to reactive states, such as substance abuse. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy helps identify coping skills to apply in the sequence of events, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to avoid undesired reactions. The treatment is especially helpful with borderline personality disorders.

Equine therapy, aka equine-assisted therapy (EAT), is a form of experiential therapy that involves interactions and activities with horses. It does not necessarily involve riding horses, but all activities related to horses, such as feeding, grooming, haltering and leading them. A mental health professional frequently oversees the activities (often in conjunction with a horse professional), and helps patients process their thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns during and/or after the interaction.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

This is a psychotherapy utilizing a sequence of eye movements that were developed by Francine Shapiro to address disturbing memories that may be the cause of psychopathology. When a traumatic or distressing experience occurs, it may overwhelm normal coping mechanisms. The memory and associated stimuli are inadequately processed and stored in an isolated memory network. The goal of EMDR is to reduce the long-lasting effects of conditions such as Post-traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD) by developing more adaptive coping mechanisms.

They understand the damage addiction brings to families. Congratulations on taking the first step toward long-term recovery. Clear Springs Ranch Family Program ensures that the family is part of the treatment process, from the initial assessment to aftercare planning to understanding the signs of relapse.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). Group therapy sessions focus on the relationships a person has with others and can help to improve a client’s interpersonal skills. Interacting with others socially with the facilitation of a trained therapist can assist with the recognition of negative patterns. Individuals then are able to learn strategies for understanding and interacting positively with others.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Talking things over confidentially with a trained therapist in a safe environment helps clients begin to understand challenging feelings and behaviors. During individual counseling sessions, Clear Springs Ranch clients learn new coping skills by exploring the connections of past experiences and relationships to current problems.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

Rational Behavior Therapy (RBT) is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy meant to be short-term and comprehensive. It was intended to help clients become more self-sufficent and move forward without the need for expensive, ongoing therapy. It includes an emotional self-help method called “rational self-counseling,” the purpose of which is to give clients all the skills needed to handle future emotional issues by themselves, or with significantly less professional help.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Unprofessional & unethical. These are the first couple of words that come to mind when I think about the Ranch at Clear Springs in Aquilla, TX.On Friday, May 27th, my son was admitted at The Ranch.On Saturday, June 4th at 7:00 am, 8 days into treatment, the night nurse called to inform me that my son was running moderate ketones & she checked him twice. She told me that he was being transported by ambulance to Providence Hospital in Waco, 30 miles away. I left my house for the hospital to be with my son.When I arrived at the hospital, I was told by the attending nurse that my son was given a complete exam & thorough tests & blood work by the ER medical staff at the hospital & they determined he was not running any ketones, nor was he dehydrated. He was released about an hour after arriving. My drive was 2 hours one way. When I was about 30 minutes from home, Edith Kauffman, the Director of Nursing called me to inform me that my son was back at their facility & what the hospital found, etc. after I had already found out this information on my own.That same evening, Michelle Ramirez, a primary counselor at The Ranch called me & said that it would be best if I didn't come to visit him the following day, Sunday for family visitation & that they had told him. This is NOT what I thought was best, but because they are professionals, I listened to their advice.The next day, Sunday, June 5th, my son waited for me all day for the family visitation & he was not allowed to use the phone to check to see why I hadn t shown up & no one told him that I wasn t coming. The staff told me NOT to come & NEVER told my son I wasn t coming that day & why.I called the night nurse that evening & was given a great progress report on my son. I was told that he was eating well, participating in groups & working with his sponsor on his steps. This was a welcomed sigh of relief & hope for us.On Tuesday, June 7th at 10:00 am, 12 days into treatment & not even 2 days after my son's great progress report, I was called by both Edith Kauffman, the Director of Nursing, & Leslie Hunt, a primary counselor on a conference call to inform me that they were going to discharge my son from their program due to his inability to adhere to dietary restrictions. I asked for further clarification since I was just given a positive report the day before from the nurses that my son was doing wonderful with his diabetes control & attending groups, classes, etc. Edith, the director of nursing told me that my son was eating white rice & white bread instead of brown rice & wheat bread. SERIOUSLY! I asked them to conference my son in with us so I could hear what he had to say & the counselor, Leslie said it wasn t a good idea. We are so extremely disappointed & shocked with the staff & program at The Ranch at Clear Springs. I m praying that anyone who is searching for help with their addiction will NEVER contact this useless, uneducated, unrealistic, & unsupportive facility. They will tell YOU why you don t want to get sober!! BEYOND SAD!I asked them what they were going to do with my son. They said they would offer him transportation to another program that COULD HELP him or I could come get him. I said I need to speak to my son ASAP! My son was finally allowed to call me & said that he had asked them to stay because he wanted the help & to complete their program & was even working with his sponsor to get to step 3 in his work. The staff refused to keep him in their program, so I picked him up & transported him to a better treatment facility that was welcoming, supportive, DEDICATED & educated in addictions with people who have chronic illnesses, including Type 1 Diabetes.I m happy to report that after a horrifying experience & wasted trip to The Ranch at Clear Springs, my son is doing amazing! He is clean, clear, healthy, happy & working very hard on his commitment to staying sober thanks to an actual caring & supportive staff & program that we should have chosen in the first place.

Response from the owner6 years ago
Gerri- Please accept our sincere apology for your experience with our program. We have made several staffing changes since the time your son was in our care. Not one of the mentioned staff is still employed by Clear Springs Ranch. We know that doesn t make your experience better, but wanted to let you know that we strive to be a place of healing and hope. We are happy to hear that your son is happy and sober. If you would like to discuss any of the issues further, don t hesitate to contact Rosemary Lacy 832-738-6309. Thank you for your feedback.

The Ranch at Clear springs was absolutely amazing. Most of the staff were wonderful to me especially the nursing staff. I came into rehab absolutely terrified of the detox process and the nurses and physician made it a breeze and very comfortable. I made some friends for life during my stay and can honestly say that I miss being there.If anyone decides to stay, my advice is to take in as much of the beauty and value of the property as you can. By far one of the coolest plots of land I have ever been on. Check out some of the dates on the gravestones in the cemetery to get a grasp on the history of the property.However, keep in mind that your stay at any rehab facility is what you make of it and what you put into it. For me it was a wonderful way to be introduced into a sober, healthy lifestyle and was well worth the sacrifice.
